As the Island Churns…
"New Developments in Every Way." That would be my headline this week. The white man finally stuck it to me. Let me give you a bit of background for all you new listeners. It all began one stormy night in Powerhouse. Actually it wasn’t storming it was actually pretty nice. I’m on my way back from doing a good deed and boom. There goes my tire. Thank you to whomever you were that ran me off the road. It’s not Nascar. Get it fixed, no big deal.
Omen two…I lose my keys. That’s right. I lost my one key. It’s humorous. Hey I can laugh about this one. And I do. Easily fixed with the help of my mechanic. Hammering out steering columns is apparently his forte. Regardless, he’s a good guy to know when your car needs jacking. Two hours later and a fifty dollars lighter I am able to use my car again.
A day now passes and I haven’t left Hauli land in that time for fear of threes. That is not a typo. I said threes, not trees. Mind that if you will. I am working. It’s Saturday night and I am working with the boss. We’re a absolutely slammed. Not only did my boss look like a one legged man in a butt kicking contest, I did too. It’s hot. I am continuously burning myself on hot potatoes, skillets and steam. All of the sudden the news.
Debo informs Tim that a tree has just fallen on his truck. I think to myself: "We’re not out of the clear yet", hold my breath awaiting the foul news I was expecting. No news is good news, so they say. Fifteen minutes later Janee walks up to me and asks me if I know there’s a tree on my car. Let’s see here? No one told me so I’m gonna guess no. What’s my door prize?
Three days go by. The 535 is wounded and stuck between enemy fire. This is where you have to understand that there is more riding on this 535 than to be expected. I am awaiting an estimate to be faxed to Hauli Land who has agreed to pay for their tree.Mind you all I need is a windshield basically. The Hauli’s towed my 535. To the crusher.
I can laugh about this though. I can. And I hope that you do too because it is the most ridiculous thing I have ever encountered. We’ll give you an update on that outcome later. You folks really need to laugh more.
